Notes: More info?: Visit thelongview.net Questions remain for a future segment; e.g. what happens to the cost of living in a Fair Trade community and what impact does the US industrial media-laden culture have upon the foreign cultures as Fair Trade battles with Free Trade for the same hearts and minds?
